But if adventuregames doesn't make money there are much fewer who tries to make them and that will lead to fewer really good games.

That's true, and fair enough, but my point is also that if you're aiming to please the so called masses then it's often hit and miss tactics that usually come up miss. If you aim a really well rounded adventure game right at what the niche of its real target audience is though, then I think you'll end up with a successful title. It may be a niche market, but it's not to be underestimated. And that means not necassarily having to make it more like this genre or more like that one to improve the genre.
